“RBI tightens Rules for JLFs” was the headline recently in many newspapers. What does JLF stands for?
JLFs are meetings held to revitalise stressed assets. In JLF banks attempt to red-flag stress early and check them by putting in place a corrective action plan (CAP). RBI has lowered the threshold needed for implementing the corrective action plan (CAP). Now, the decisions agreed to by a minimum of 60% of creditors by value and 50% of creditors would now be valid to implement the CAP. Decision taken by the JLF would be binding on all other lenders.
